FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and particularly relates to an ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer and electronic cigarette.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The existing ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer comprises an e-liquid storage assembly and an atomization core detachably connected to the e-liquid storage assembly, wherein the atomization core comprises an ultrasonic atomization sheet, and the e-liquid storage assembly comprises an e-liquid chamber and an e-liquid outlet for communicating an atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet with the e-liquid chamber.
The existing ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer has the following deficiencies:
First, when the atomization core is disassembled, e-liquid leakage may occur because the e-liquid outlet is not closed. After the atomization core is disassembled, e-liquid cannot be added to the e-liquid chamber (if added, e-liquid leakage will occur), so the atomizer is inconvenient to use and poor in user experience.
Second, when adding e-liquid, since the e-liquid outlet is not closed, even if the atomization core is not taken out at this time, leakage of the e-liquid to the surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet easily occurs through the e-liquid outlet, the ultrasonic atomization sheet is immersed in the e-liquid, the atomization start speed is low, and the user easily sucks the e-liquid, resulting in poor user experience.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the existing ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer, the e-liquid outlet cannot be closed when the atomization core is disassembled or when e-liquid is added, and e-liquid leakage easily occurs, so the user experience is poor. For the above deficiencies of the prior art, an objective of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer and electronic cigarette, in which the e-liquid outlet can be closed to prevent e-liquid leakage when the atomization core is disassembled or when e-liquid is added, so the user experience is good.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
An ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer, comprising an e-liquid storage assembly and an atomization core detachably connected to the e-liquid storage assembly, the atomization core comprising an ultrasonic atomization sheet, the e-liquid storage assembly comprising an e-liquid chamber and an e-liquid outlet for communicating an atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet with the e-liquid chamber, wherein the e-liquid storage assembly further comprises a moving assembly that can move in the direction of assembling/disassembling the atomization core to open/close the e-liquid outlet; when the atomization core is connected with the e-liquid storage assembly, the atomization core drives the moving assembly to move and open the e-liquid outlet; when the atomization core is disconnected from the e-liquid storage assembly, the moving assembly is reset and closes the e-liquid outlet.
With the above structure, when the atomization core is disassembled, the moving assembly moves in the disassembly direction along with the atomization core to block the e-liquid outlet, thereby preventing e-liquid leakage when the atomization core is taken out, and improving the utility of the atomizer. When the user disassembles the atomization core, if e-liquid needs to be added, since the moving assembly seals the e-liquid outlet, the e-liquid can also be added without leakage after the atomization core is disassembled. When the atomizer is in normal operation, the atomization core is assembled into the e-liquid storage assembly, and the atomization core drives the moving assembly to open the e-liquid outlet, so that the atomizer can be used normally.
Further, the e-liquid storage assembly comprises a housing; a first limiting seat and a rotating member are disposed in the housing, the e-liquid outlet is formed at the bottom of the side wall of the rotating member; the moving assembly comprises a moving member, the first limiting seat is sleeved on the rotating member, the first limiting seat is provided with a first limiting portion for limiting the rotating member, the side wall of the rotating member is provided with a through hole corresponding to the position of the first limiting portion, a reset spring is disposed in the through hole, one end of the reset spring abuts against the first limiting portion, the other end of the reset spring abuts against the head of an ejector pin, and the bottom of the ejector pin abuts against the moving member; when the atomization core is connected with the e-liquid storage assembly, the atomization core drives the moving member to compress the reset spring through the ejector pin and to open the e-liquid outlet; when the atomization core is disconnected from the e-liquid storage assembly, the reset spring is reset and the moving member is driven by the ejector pin to close the e-liquid outlet.
With the above structure, when the atomization core is unscrewed for disassembly, the ejector pin presses against the moving assembly under the action of the reset spring and causes the moving assembly to move down until the moving assembly seals the e-liquid outlet, only then can the atomization core be completely taken out, thereby preventing the e-liquid from leaking out of the e-liquid outlet during the process of taking out the atomization core. When the atomization core is connected with the e-liquid storage assembly, the reset spring is in a compressed state, the moving assembly does not block the e-liquid outlet, and the e-liquid in the e-liquid chamber can flow into the atomization core for atomization.
Further, the moving assembly further comprises a second limiting seat, the second limiting seat is sleeved in the rotating member, the top of the moving member is sleeved in the bottom of the rotating member, and the inner side wall of the rotating member is provided with a second limiting portion for limiting the second limiting seat.
The second limit portion can prevent the moving assembly from exceeding the travel range of downward movement.
Further, the atomizer further comprises an upper cover assembly detachably connected to the e-liquid storage assembly; the atomization core comprises an e-liquid inlet communicated with the atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet; when e-liquid is injected, the rotating member is driven by the upper cover assembly to rotate so that the e-liquid outlet is misaligned with the e-liquid inlet to block the e-liquid channel; after the e-liquid is injected, the rotating member is driven by the upper cover assembly to rotate so that the e-liquid outlet is communicated with the e-liquid inlet to open the e-liquid channel.
Further, the e-liquid storage assembly comprises an upper fixing seat on the top of the housing, the upper fixing seat is provided with an e-liquid injection hole communicated with the e-liquid chamber, the upper fixing seat is also provided with a limiting slot, and the top of the first limiting seat is provided with limiting lugs corresponding to the limiting slot.
The limiting lugs are inserted into the limiting slot to rotate within a certain angle range, thereby driving the rotating member to rotate and sealing the e-liquid outlet to prevent e-liquid leakage when the upper cover assembly is taken down to add e-liquid. When the e-liquid is added, the upper cover assembly is rotated, the rotating member is rotated along with the upper cover member by a certain angle until the limiting lugs are clamped in the limiting slot, the e-liquid outlet on the rotating member is misaligned with the e-liquid inlet on the atomization core to seal the e-liquid inlet, and e-liquid leakage does not occur when the upper cover assembly is unscrewed for adding the e-liquid, thereby increasing the utility of the atomizer and the convenience for the user.
Further, the upper cover assembly comprises a nozzle holder for sealing the upper fixing seat, a nozzle communicated with the atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet is fixed on the nozzle holder, and the nozzle holder is provided with an air inlet communicated with the atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet.
Further, the side wall of the second limiting seat is provided with an air passing hole communicated with the atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet; when the atomization core is connected with the e-liquid storage assembly, the atomization core drives the second limiting seat to move through the moving member until the air passing hole is communicated with the air inlet; when the atomization core is disconnected from the e-liquid storage assembly, the moving member drives the second limiting seat to move so as to cut off the communication between the air passing hole and the air inlet.
With the above structure, when the atomization core is disassembled, the moving assembly not only blocks the e-liquid outlet, but also blocks the air inlet through the second limiting seat, and the atomizer cannot operate at this time, thereby preventing smoking when the atomization core is not assembled, and preventing the service life of the ultrasonic atomization sheet from being shortened by dry burning. When the atomization core is assembled, the through hole is communicated with the air inlet, so that the air channel is opened, and smoking can be normally performed.
Further, the side wall of the second limiting seat is provided with an annular groove corresponding to the position of the air passing hole.
Since the annular groove is provided, when the upper cover assembly is taken out to add e-liquid, the air channel is opened in the case where the atomization core is not taken out.
As a preferred mode, the atomization core comprises an upper assembly and a lower assembly that are detachably connected, the upper assembly comprises an upper connecting seat and an e-liquid guide structure in the upper connecting seat, the lower assembly comprises a lower connecting seat and the ultrasonic atomization sheet in the lower connecting seat, and the upper connecting seat is detachably connected with the lower connecting seat; when the upper assembly is connected with the lower assembly, the e-liquid guide structure communicates the atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet with the e-liquid chamber.
The upper and lower assemblies are detachable and replaceable, which reduces the cost of use and is convenient and practical.
Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention further provides an electronic cigarette, comprising the ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer.
Compared with the prior art, the e-liquid channel of the present invention can be cut off when the atomization core is disassembled or when e-liquid is added, so that e-liquid leakage is prevented, and the product has long service life and good user experience.
